Let’s take a step back.
I am in the habit of buying the end of the year edition of ‘the Economist’ in which the key issues for the following year are discussed. The smart folks at the ‘the Economist’ had absolutely no clue that some serious was brewing in the Arab World.
And most of us didn’t.
Let us be humble enough to say we don’t really understand what is going on.
The second point is what exactly is the US Government supposed to do if Egyptians wanted Mubarak to leave - insist that he stays?
Do you know enough about the Egyptian army to know whether they would sit back and allow the MB to rule Egypt? I accept that the secular coalition in Egypt is disorganised, but remember that Mubarak’s people are still in power and Mubarak hated the brothers.
I didn't say I did understand it; rather I posted that Obama had multiple sources and did not share his insights with his People, but rather acted against their interest.
He had both official US and (no doubt sanitized for some time now, in consideration of the current occupant of the White House) Mossad intelligence, and he also had continuing contacts with the Muslim Brotherhood via back channels.
My point was that our President is playing games with us, to benefit the Islamists.
